Thanks to Megan Coyle, a former student in the course, for being our guest today and telling you a little bit about her experiences with Video Game Law and providing some meaningful advice on how to approach the experience.

Megan grew up on Mayne Island where she enjoyed mastering the first 3 Mario games on Nintendo, as well as such classics as DigDug, Elevator Action and Excite Bike which came on one of those almost certainly  modded and not sold in Canada “76 games in one” cartridges from Hong Kong. 

On a high school exchange to Japan she fell in love with arcades generally and Dance Dance Revolution in particular, following which she lived in whistler for a year without TV, computer, or phone, let alone any games.

Megan did her undergrad at UBC in Linguistics and worked at the Law School as an administrative assistant for 4 years before eventually being inspired to apply here as a student. She graduated last May, and is articling at DLA Piper where she also summered.

It was not intended to be such, but this mornings first class proved to be an real reminder of how far the course has come over the previous 8 iterations. That in itself is a testament to all the students, guests and supporters who have been so generous and kind. You can read about many of them here: http://videogame.law.ubc.ca/about/
